Yes but you could have just gone out and bought a single or at most a six pack. Did you really need a case?

I thought perhaps he had opened a Growler.

When I was a kid I managed a pizza place. I learned how to make them. This place was some of the most popular pizza in town.

Here is my version during lock down.

Looks good, pepperoni, italian sausage w/onions, cheese & tomato sauce?

Is the sauce homemade? The picture shows a deep red unlike traditional sauce color. The salami looks very large or the pizza is very small. We have the same countertop stone now all we need is a pizza to match. Shipping address to follow. Thanks in advance.

I just used a Boboli sauce and then I add my own spices, including fennel. It has a slight sweetness, like I remember the old pizza place did. It has a lot of tomato paste in it.The pepperoni is about 3" diameter cut from a big roll.

This pizza was just for me so it was smaller, about 9 inches.

I make my own dough based on Alton Brown's recipie "Pizza Pizza".

When the kids come up for dinner, everybody gets to make their own pizza and the combinations get crazy. Sometimes they use alfredo sauce for pizza sauce. Crazy. Mom loves it because it brings everyone together. I do too!

Was that weight or wait for summer? Don’t store it in your truck cooler and shut the ignition off in the sun for a couple days.

Hi: Iowa Dave... Did I ever tell you about the borrowed Motorhome and the borrowed Koolatron?
No one told me they cooled as well as heated!!! I kicked the plug out of the Koolatron socket and when plugging it back in reversed the plug. We had two heads of cauliflower/broccoli pieces cooked with two pails of cooked French onion soup w/ sour cream ready to explode. Alf

My favourite myth busted is that mayo in potato salad can make you sick. The mayo contains vinegar, which is a preservative. It's the potato that's the perfect medium for bacteria.
